ULTIMATE FANDOM COLLISION!!! The West Wing was my first serious tv addiction (before The Office, obviously), so to have Jim and Pam talking about it is ridiculously exciting to me. *sigh* I LOVE this show and I LOVE this couple!

7 | Stefanie, it’s true that if he didn’t give the Finer Things books a real chance, he probably won’t ever watch it–but it’s a hilarious miniseries! He would laugh and laugh. Or at least he could chuckle at Pam laughing and laughing at it. (That’s how that usually goes at our house, anyway.) :-D

That scene was too cute! My boyfriend and I watch the west wing together before we go to sleep! Pretty much every night at the moment, because he just bought the entire series on DVD. I can’t wait for him to see this.

The ‘Cranford’ thing made me laugh though, my mom loves it and I hated it and whenever I was round to see her she always had Cranford on.

#36, Cranford was a miniseries on PBS with Judi Dench that aired in May.
I wish they kept this in the episode. We could have seen more Jim/Pam interaction than Pam’s drunk message. Although that was funny in its own right.

Now to the relevant post: Dwight is so “jackhammer” when he’s relying on the ladies at work. I love it. “We corrected them when they were wrong.”

p.s. Can anyone think of any TV show, ever, that has deleted scenes as good as The Office? Honestly, all the deleted scenes from shows I can think of are either super lame, super limited, or super “just like the scene in the final cut, plus one word”. The Office’s deleted scenes are freaking funny. Not freaking unfunny. I know it’s been up for discussion before that the show could be 40 instead of 20 minutes much more often than it is, but my question is–has there ever been a show since WWII that can compete with that deleted scene success?

That second deleted scene was so hilarious!! They should have kept that scene in. I love Jim and Michael’s exchanges about Michael’s love life. The “CD mix-tape” and now the “wild card” dates. So funny! I love you Office Writers!!!!!

The 3rd clip is terrific – yep, it is funny but better yet, every moment is brief and in character without being outrageous. There are times when I don’t get the rationale behind the editting on the show.
